  2. experiences

  well, yes, as a matter of fact.

  i have become a desperate, needy, clingy burden on my friends, so depressed i don't know what to do.

  every day i say, pull up your socks, put one foot in front of the other.

  Your words could have come from my own mouth (((hortensia)))

  The silent screams go largely unnoticed and unheard, there's nothing wrong with making them audible from time to time - now to heed my own words!!

  What is the best way to deal with the IRS?

  i will only give limited details - but let me rant a little.. wifey and i have been raising our grandkids for almost four years now.

  except for a short period of time in 2005, during which time one of them lived for 8 or 10 months with her father, they have all three lived here.

  we have paid all the bills, child care, tuitions, insurance, food, clothing, shelter.... on and on.

  If they're anything like the UK ones - just give them everything you have and go lie down in front of a train

  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  I am a temple of calm...

  Haven't forgotten!

  I have chosen to have a day off job hunting and immersed myself in college work today - something I love, to help lift my inner spirit

  I'm working on an essay about worship and 'how it should be'. In strange paradox, the article I'm reviewing is very anti 'modern' style - I could see a JW agreeing with it! And yet, there is a huge difference between the results of mainstream worship and that of the JW's - namely that although both may feel burdened by God about the state the world is in, the former are spurred to go out and do something to change the world, whereas the latter seem to bemoan it and pull together in a kind of 'ghetto mentality', hoping that God will soon do something about it!

  "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" says the Lord.

  Hmmm...

  How is your circle of friends?

  2. friends

  i have been blessed to come to know several posters here personally, and to be able to count them as friends.

  i have phone conversations with several here from time to time also.

  most of these are 'long distance relationships' due to the nature of the xjw beast, geographically, at least for me.

  Any others share my sentiments this morning? Or am I just a big softie today?

  No.

  Now go and make real life friends!

  Only joking - I'll take my 'cold and hard-hearted' hat off now lol. Some folks here have become dear to me too - some I've met, others I hope to. It's good to know you're all here especially when the real life friends aren't.

  so i'll be turning 32 soon.

  my life has been mostly pleasant.

  i don't have any 5 year plan or anything like that, but i do want to be a mom no later than 34. i am single, no great love of my life, not even someone to like out there at the moment.

  Hi Lou

  How about fostering? I don't know how it works where you are but here you can be either a short-term or long-term foster carer - you get paid for fostering here too not that this should be the reason for fostering of course!

  I'm thinking maybe you could foster and then if Mr Right comes along, you are in a position to consider together what to do in the future.

  Dear journal

  I hate the government and its agencies with an absolute hatred I've never known before - if there is a literal hell, the deepest fires are reserved for them!

  There, thats out of my system now!!

  Went to my sister's house for tea tonight, the change was good for me. I've only just got home!

  Bonfire is still going.

  is that then proof enough that there is life after death?.

  does that mean we do actually have a soul?.

  could you touch them for real?.

  Sirona, what do you think of Derek Acora (sp?)

  I've heard him on radio shows quite a lot and some of the things he has said without apparently 'leading' have seemed quite astounding. He holds a lot of the same views as you, for example a 'higher power/force' of some sort, and people being healed in the afterlife etc.

  I have very strongly sensed, but not seen - maybe I don't need to see.

  2 main occasions in my life -

  When my dog died, I 'knew' she was lying at the top of the stairs with her tail wagging on a couple of occasions. She would also be lying at my bedside sometimes.

  At the very moment my mum died in the operating theatre, she was very present in my house - even my two cats were watching her, we all simultaneously looked at the same place - at 8.42am. She wasn't here long, just letting me know she was ok I guess. The phone call came a few minutes after.

  Homers pointers are good - especially make sure you have the correct type of trainers, my knees and ankles are shot to bits for lack of proper footwear when I used to run

  Do gentle warm up (before) AND warm down (after) exercises too - this will help you avoid muscle strain and cramps - that's why football teams etc do them

  Have fun!!
